Reflections on Adinkra “Positive Message”
WE ALL CARRY A MESSAGE OR A VOICE FROM THE PAST OR FROM LIFE EXPERIENCES WHICH WE REMEMBER. MAKES SURE IT IS A POSITIVE MESSAGE. BE KIND. BE WISE.
The words, messages or voices you remember growing up and as an adult can disempower you or empower you. Make sure it empowers you.

All through your life, you will notice that you are consciously or unconsciously playing back certain messages into your life, from time to time you remember something and it has a way of affecting you. These messages are mainly from parents, siblings, extended family, teachers, friends, loved ones, influences from religious places and from many other sources which have programmed you to live your life a certain way. It can work for you positively and it can work against you in a really negative way. The most devasting ones are those negative messages from people close to you like a parent or a sibling or a relative you lived with or even a teacher at school who taught you for many years or even as an adult by someone in a relationship or your ex, you might have been told that you will not amount to anything or that you were useless, sadly some people were told they were even “dumb” and will never be able to learn. What you see or hear growing up or as an adult can be internalized in a really bad way and affect you for many years. Furthermore, what you think should have happened or should not happened can affect you for a long time until you find a way to address it positively such as a parent dying when you were really young or you growing up in poverty or an absent parent creating a sense of loss or emptiness inside you or a deep sense of abandonment or you might have seen domestic violence. You must check yourself deeply to see which voices you remember the most. The hurtful, wicked ones forgive them. Release that burden and move on. You deserve more peace and happiness. Let it go. Each time you remember a bad voice or message replace it with good voices and messages immediately. The more you do this the more you can cope and override those disempowering messages. Remember, consistency is the evidence of knowing (when you know, you’ve moved beyond belief). Keep smiling at the person in the mirror.
Which voice do you listen to in your head the most. What you continue to playback in your mind will affect your life. Pay attention to what you playback in your mind.
